Mysterious Pill Emerges

On this day...

Within the previously silent alchemy furnace, tiny specks of light slowly emerged. The instant they appeared, dark clouds instantly blanketed the distant sky, casting a dark shadow over the entire space. Black lightning, carrying destructive power, darted through the clouds.

The rumbling thunder did not frighten anyone; instead, it became the most beautiful eulogy in the world for Xiao Han and the others.

Xiao Han gazed at the terrifyingly powerful Pill Lightning, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists, his face filled with wild joy. "We're almost there!"

Meanwhile, Yi Huang, who was busy at the alchemy furnace, also looked up, her expression one of fervor. She then suddenly flicked her sleeve, and the lid of the Pill Cauldron automatically flipped off. An irresistible medicinal fragrance quickly spread, eventually condensing into countless beads of various colors, which rained down from the sky.

"Pill Rain falls, the Mysterious Pill emerges!" This thought naturally came to mind for the three of them.

However, the only slight drawback is that only a handful of people can appreciate this magnificent scene at the moment. If all the Alchemist in the world knew about it, they would probably beat their chests and cry out in regret!

The next instant, a massive bolt of lightning, swirling in the sky, roared down violently. At the same time, a womb-shaped ball of light within the Pill Cauldron faced the heavens, bathed in lightning.

Seeing this, the three of them felt a surge of anxiety, thinking, "We're so close!"

If it weren't for the fact that a true Mysterious Pill of elixir) needs to be baptized by the power of Pill Lightning (a type of lightning), Xiao Han would have neutralized it with a wave of his hand the moment the Black Demon Lightning fell. Now, however, he can only quietly wait for the outcome.

Perhaps even Heaven did not want to see such a pill perish. Under tense gazes, the ball of light not only did not dim, but became even more dazzling, with black lightning arcs constantly flashing on the embryo.

Sudden...

"Crack"

A crisp sound was heard, and then, as if in a chain reaction, countless cracks appeared in the light egg.

"Boom!"

Another bolt of black lightning struck down, slamming into the teetering embryo.

With a "bang," the embryo finally couldn't hold on any longer and exploded.

Just then, a beam of light suddenly shot out and disappeared as quickly as lightning.

However, Xiao Han had anticipated this scene. He snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and made a grasping motion towards the Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill from afar. Then, he moved slightly and appeared in front of the former, grabbing it in his hand.

He immediately took out a Jade Box and put it inside, the series of operations proceeding smoothly and effortlessly.

"Did it really work?" Yi Huang asked in surprise. They had worked so hard for this one pill.

"Hmm." Xiao Han grinned as well. "It worked."

Everything is ready, except for the final push! Next, all we need to do is get this elixir into the Heavenly Tomb.

"The Mysterious Pill is complete. Congratulations to you both," said the old Elder Yao with a smile.

In high spirits, Xiao Han cheerfully replied, "I must thank the Medicine Saint for his help!"

"Now that my mission is complete, then..." the Elder Yao said meaningfully.

"No problem!" Xiao Han readily agreed, "I will personally escort the Medicine Saint back."

With a sigh of relief, the Elder Yao said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

As Elder Yao cautiously walked out of the Langya Pavilion, breathing in the fresh air, Elder Yao slumped heart finally rose again.

It wasn't that the Elder Yao, but rather that this task was far too important.

Damn it, just think about what he got this time: a Ninth Grade Treasure Pill Recipe, a Ninth Grade Treasure Pill that can help Middle Heaven Realm soul break through to the late stage, and even a profound Mysterious Pill that can reshape the soul, plus that rare Treasure Pill and the almost miraculous experience of refining the Mysterious Pill.

And the other party only asked him to assist in refining a Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill. No matter how you look at it, this is just not fair!

If it were only his part of the pill formula, it would be fine, but these two "sincerely" gave it all away. How could this old man who is several hundred years old not have some doubts?

Before this, he had thought many times that he was going to be silenced, but now he is safe and sound!

Although he was very glad that he had survived, Elder Yao was still determined to keep it a secret, he had to keep it a secret!

From the pills that the two Ice Saint asked him to help refine, it can be seen that they were all pills that worked on the soul, especially the Mysterious Pill, which had a heaven-defying effect, and the strength of the person who took it was self-evident.

This reminded Elder Yao of the Body Refinement Method that the Ice Saint had exchanged for from him; the process...

Does this seem somewhat familiar?

Elder Yao shook his head, not daring to think about it anymore. If you want to live a long life, you can't think too much. Isn't it more comfortable to just fight the Soul Hall honestly?

With a wry smile, he quickly headed towards the Heavenly Mansion.

Xiao Han and the other two had no idea what Elder Yao was thinking; if they had known, they might have been both amused and exasperated.

Neither of them instinctively considered the consequences of their actions, and it was only natural that the Elder Yao was terrified by this seemingly free benefit.

All I can say is that this was a poorly planned move!

Xiao Han and his companion are currently pondering another issue.

"How do we get into the Heavenly Tomb?" After experiencing the joy of successfully consuming the Mysterious Pill, Yi Huang thought of the last crucial question.

Xiao Han asked with a puzzled look, "Why do we need to enter the Heavenly Tomb?"

"If I don't enter the Heavenly Tomb, how can I refine bodies for our ancestors?" Yi Huang asked, puzzled.

Xiao Han countered with a question, "If our ancestors had physical bodies, how did they come out?"

This question immediately stumped Yi Huang. Indeed, if a group of the Xiao Clan patriarchs with the strength of Dou Sheng were to swagger out of the Heavenly Tomb, including the legendary powerhouse Xiao Xuan...

It is estimated that this explosive news will spread throughout the entire Central Plains Continent by the next day.

However, the energy reactions of a group of Dou Sheng could not possibly escape the perception of the many powerful Gu Clan. To sneak out unnoticed would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"Then what do you want to do?" Seeing Xiao Han's teasing expression, Yi Huang felt a surge of resentment and asked angrily.

"Hehe~" Xiao Han chuckled a few times, and the next moment a bright blue ring appeared in his hand.

"This is it!"

"This is..." Yi Huang stared at it for a while, but still couldn't see anything unusual. "Is there any difference between this and Storage Ring?"

"You've probably heard of the Soul-Nourishing Storage Ring, right?" Xiao Han said with a grin.

"How is that possible?" Yi Huang subconsciously glanced at the ring again and retorted, "If this is Soul-Nourishing Storage Ring, how could it not have any fluctuations?"

Soul-Nourishing Storage Ring is Storage Ring made of Soul-Nourishing Stone that can be used to hide one's soul. Although such a thing is extremely rare, it is not impossible to find. The ring in which Elder Yao hid his soul was just such a ring.

However, Yi Huang considered herself to have excellent eyesight, so why couldn't she resist taking out a Soul-Nourishing Stone ring?

Xiao Han simply smiled and said, "I just used a little trick."

"So..."

"You understand?!"

"Tch!" Yi Huang curled her lip, "You're something else."

Now things are much simpler. All they need to do is send the pills in, have them taken by the Xiao Clan patriarchs, and once their souls are successfully replenished, they can hide in their Soul-Nourishing Storage Ring.

After all, the rules of the Heavenly Tomb only apply to incomplete souls. Once the origin is complete, the Soul Body can also emerge from it.

Once you make it big, the sky's the limit.

A month later, the appearance of a certain Ruins shattered the hard-won peace of Central Plains.
